"Over time, this growth piled legacy systems and disparate data sources together in an increasingly inefficient manner, putting pressure on operations teams to put in work to understand data on a daily basis. It became clear that the firm needed a new, single pane of glass for its data. ITPro spoke to Kenny Scott, data governance consultant at EDF Power Solutions, to learn more about how its data transformation had assisted the power company to accelerate clean energy deployment."
"Scott used the analogy of an 'engine room' to describe how the three offerings work in tandem under the hood of DataVolt to ensure employees at EDF can access the data they need. "Informatica is the foundation of what we do, it's the entry point, it is the cohesive glue for everything that's there," he says, adding that Informatica has become the "tool of choice" for data governance, particularly for handling metadata."
In June 2023 EDF adopted a new digital strategy to support strategic growth, deliver accurate data to decision-makers, boost colleague engagement, and ensure sustainable operations. The company consolidated legacy systems and disparate data sources into a unified platform named DataVolt. DataVolt combines Informatica for metadata and governance, Snowflake as a scalable cloud data warehouse, and Power BI as the organization’s single pane of glass for analytics. The platform aims to provide on-demand insights without long ticket queues, enable staff to access required data efficiently, and accelerate deployment of clean energy projects across EDF’s operational footprint.
